Pressestimmen

"A Tour De Force."
-- Chicago Tribune Book World
"The funniest book that anyone is likely to read in, well, a month of Sundays...An excellent novel...Updike is dazzling in his wordplay."
-- The Cleveland Press
"Updike is playful, witty, ironic, ever-fresh, ever-provocative, and ever so ever erotic....A Month of Sundays is both poignant and very funny...One of America's most original, most subtle, and most engaging writers."
-- The Boston Globe
"A flawless and utterly compelling work. His wit, intelligent sympathy, and unequaled command of the potentialities of the language for expressing and revealing have never had a better union....One of Updike's finest achievements."
-- The Charlotte Observer
